CUISINE
The
Cocktail CHEF
Mary's mixologist Boss Parkhill shares the secret behind making a sensational Royal Margarita…
Boss Parkhill
HOW TO MAKE A ROYAL MARGARITA Let Bloody Mary's introduce you to a fiery twist on the classic margarita but be warned it may not be for the weak hearted. History suggests it was invented by a man who lost his Mexican lover to a stray bullet, the effects ensuring your heart will race faster and you will be left wanting more.
GLASSWARE A Margarita cocktail can be served in either a tumbler or the specifically designed Margarita glass. My favourite would be the Bormioli Rocco Ypsilon 330ml available from Total Food Equipment. Royal Margarita OOB stands for Omaha Organic Berries. All of the products are certified organic. The premium ice cream is gluten and egg free. No artificial colours or flavours are used… But it's not about all of that… It's about the OOB taste experience - once you've tried OOB you'll never go back! Metropol in association with OOB have three delicious, icy prize packs to give away. Each includes: A bag each of frozen organic blueberries, mixed berries and raspberries, A box of organic mixed berry ice blocks, One pottle of 850ml organic Flakes of chocolate ice cream, 10 pottles of the entire range of flavours of the organic single serve 120ml ice creams. Quote “OOB” in the subject line of your email.
